What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

is that what that is? Lol

 

hmmm thanks guys

 

I checked out your install about a week ago, however my hitch brackets not only sister along the frame, they also "L" under too. This kept me from putting it underneath as you did. I could get the back bolt of the reservoir in but because the hitch brackets bents away at about 20 degs about 2 inches back, I couldn't get the front bolt to line up. That is why I had to cut the reservoir bracket back past the point where the hitch bracket began to bend out. I hope that was understandable, man I almost confused myself.

 

Looks like a great place to mount an air compressor for a locker

 

show your dad that picture and tell him the ABS is supposed to be there! !!!

 

Yes. That's were I tapped in my ABS kill switch too. On the wire harness on it.

Really makes me wonder why they have that big of a controller if it could be built into the master cylinder... I could use that space for a compressor or second battery.

 

Got some MT90 on my face, although the rest of it made it to where it belonged. The pump tube splattered when I pulled it out.

No change out of the driveway but I could feel on the way home as the Mobil 1 started coming off the synchros. It's soooo smooth now. It feels a lot like my 6th gen Civic actually.

Got the grey factory fill out of the front pig and put some new Redline GL5 in there.

Then got my first 400+ miles without a gas light today. Stoked I am. Officially getting into mild 4 cylinder territory!

 

Nothing special. Changed my oil, detailed the interior and engine compartment. I would have washed it, but it going to rain the next few days.

 

All parts parts came in. Installation tomorrow

1)bull bar
2) side running boards
3) wind/bug deflector
4) rubber floor mats
5) bottom bed cover

All with a 20% parts discount

 

Xypex is a concrete additive, excellent for waterproofing concrete. But does nothing to protect the wood fence post.

I assume one could surmise that by waterproofing the concrete, it also protects any wood within. Personally, I wouldn't be so sure. I would save the money on the concrete additive and concern myself with protecting the wood. Especially at ground level, where wood meets the concrete.

Just an opinion, soil type and other conditions vary.

 

Yes , I know

Xypex in the concrete , concrete surrounds entire post , including the bottom because it's chaired on a long spike

Clay soil , high water table , no drainage

Putting tar paper on the post won't do anything if the post is under water all the time

 

just got my TRD shift knob, TRD oil filler cap, TRD radiator cap, and TRD rubber floor mats from TRD parts for you in the mail yesterday. Installed all of them today. Just little things but I like the added attention to detail on my truck.

 

You'd be better off using pressure treated for the posts or even applying a treatment before sinking them. I don't think I've ever seen anyone put paper on the post before.

Whatever you do, be sure to taper the concrete so water runs off the concrete/post and doesn't accumulate.

 

Evidence of the misdeeds

The tar paper thing isn't what I was going to do , just sayin

I am using ground contact PT posts as well as Xypex concrete

 

Why yes, yes it is

 

Not sure how I got onto a Home and Garden website but about 6" of gravel/small stone in the bottom of the fence post hole will help in keeping the water from the post bottom.

 

Clay holes fill with water and never drain , ever

ever
